A Closer Look at the Riccardo Tisci x Nike Black Air Force 1s

Once the last pairs of Pigalle Air Force 1s are scooped up this weekend, it’ll be time to bring the focus forward to the next super hyped release. And that means the second iteration of the Riccardo Tisci x Nike Air Force 1s. Just a few weeks ago we saw the first release of the Givenchy designer’s new take on the most iconic shoe of all time, and now we’re just waiting on the black collection.

Instagram user shoulee81 has gotten his hands on two pairs of the shoes already, and we grabbed them so you could get a closer look.

Tisci used the same orange, blue, yellow, and brown for '60s graphic inspiration on the heel, swoosh, and vamp. The rest of the shoe is covered in buttery black leather. Just like before, each pair is a little taller than its classic version, creating a bolder look typical of Tisci’s recent work.

Click through the photos and let us know what you think of the black versions of the collab.
